A collapsible trailer and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the collapsible trailer includes a jointed lattice-work frame of scissor linkages which in the expanded position provide an open enclosure for transporting the load. Two orthogonally positioned collapsible crossbars span the open enclosure and releasably engage the lattice-work frame. A meshed netting is superposed to the collapsible crossbars and releasably coupled to the lattice-work frame. The collapsible trailer may be configured in a collapsed position for easy storage when not in use by removing the meshed netting, releasing the collapsible crossbars, and slidably collapsing the collapsible crossbars lengthwise and width wise in an accordion fashion.
